A Tribute to William Peter (Bill) Musa Jr.

Posted on October 24, 2024 by Joanne

On October 11, 2024 I lost my husband, the love of my life. He was my hero and the wind beneath my wings. below is his obituary…

William Peter (Bill) Musa Jr. with Joanne Musa

William Peter “Bill” Musa Jr., 61, passed away peacefully at home, in the arms of his loving wife, after a courageous battle with Stage 4 cancer on October 11, 2024.

Bill was born and raised in Flagtown, NJ, as the eldest of three children. He was predeceased by his parents, William Peter Musa Sr. and Antoinette Musa, and his beloved uncle, Bart “Sunny” Boglioli. He is survived by his devoted wife of 38 years, Joanna (Caivano); his three sons, William Mauro, Peter (and his wife Selina), and Nicholas; his sister, Kimberly Cotone (and her husband Anthony and her son Michael); and his brother, Darryl Musa (and his wife Lisa). Also mourning his loss are his brothers-in-law Sam, Mark, and Michael Caivano, his sisters-in-law Dina Caivano and Susan Holden, and many other family members and friends.

As a young man, Bill excelled in athletics, especially combat sports such as wrestling, judo, jiu-jitsu, and boxing. He won the Wrestling Junior Olympic Championship of 1977 during his middle school years and continued to compete in various clubs and competitions throughout his youth.

Bill worked numerous odd jobs in his early years, including as a bouncer at Flemington Manor, while studying for his degree from Ohio Diesel Tech. Over the course of his career, he worked for NJ Spring Factory, NY Waterways, John Deere, Ford, and Cummins, where he specialized in installing and maintaining diesel generators. He worked for Western States in Washington State for 9 months after the COVID pandemic and came back to Pennsylvania in 2022 to work for Modern Group Ltd. Bill’s mechanical and electrical aptitude, paired with decades of hands-on experience, made him invaluable to both his employers and to friends and acquaintances who sought his advice for troubleshooting heavy equipment. He also devoted much time to mentoring his sons in the repair of cars and machinery.

In 1986, Bill married Joanna Caivano, and they shared a love that spanned 38 years. Together, they built a family and a life they cherished, first in Flemington, NJ, and later settling in East Stroudsburg, PA. Their greatest achievement was the family they nurtured—Bill, Joanne, and their sons William, Peter, and Nicholas.

Bill’s greatest passion was his family. A dedicated and hardworking man, he was known for his strong work ethic, taking on extra shifts and never hesitating to help those in need. Although a stoic by nature, Bill’s warmth, curiosity, and willingness to help others earned him many friends in both his work and his community. He was always quick to smile and laugh.

In his spare time, Bill embraced new hobbies such as hunting, target shooting, and especially fishing. He was a lifelong learner, with a particular interest in history, philosophy, and classical literature, and he loved animals, whether they were cats or his beloved large dogs

Bill’s illness came swiftly, but his family—his wife and sons—stood by his side, offering unconditional love and support during his most challenging days. In his final moments, the love and devotion he had shown throughout his life were returned in full measure. Bill Musa passed away peacefully in his home, surrounded by his family.

3 Things You Need to be Successful at Tax Sales

Posted on September 11, 2024 by Joanne

3 things you need to be successful at tax salesHave you tried investing in tax liens or tax deeds but haven’t been as profitable as you wanted? 

There are 3 things that you need to be successful at tax sales. Those 3 things are…

  1. An easy way to find tax sales and get the tax sale information
  2. Knowledge of how the bidding process works in the particular auction they are participating in
  3. A quick and easy way to choose the right properties to bid on

The 1st Thing to Help You Be Successful at Tax Sales: Getting the tax sale information

To be a successful tax lien or tax deed investor, you need to know when and where the tax sales are. Tax sales in some states only happen once a year, in other states they can take place in different counties throughout the year. You need to have a way of finding out when these tax sales are, without having to check the local paper or call every tax collector or county treasurer in the state you want to invest in. How you do that will depend on the state that you’re investing in and the type of tax sales that you want to participate in.

The 2nd Thing You Need to Know to Be Successful at Tax Sales is the Bidding Process

Once you have the tax sale information and you know where and when the tax sale is taking place, you need to understand the bidding process. I used to say that you need to know what the bidding process is in the state that you’re investing in. But with more and more counties using different online bidding platforms, now even in the same state there could be different methods of bidding.

You need to understand the bidding method that is deployed in the auction you’re bidding in. Is it a proxy or direct bidding system? Do you know exactly what is being bid? There are even some tax lien auctions where you bid premium as a dollar amount or as a percent of the assessed value of the property. It’s very important to know what you’re bidding.

The 3rd Thing You Need to Be Successful at Tax Sales is a Way to Easily Find the Right Properties

Every investor wants to know how to choose the right properties to bid on. What they don’t realize is that is not where due diligence starts. You must pick the right areas to invest in and the right type of properties to target. You want to be able to quickly filter the tax sale list by the type of property and the right areas. Then you need a way to quickly review the filtered list of properties to decide which one to bid on.

What states have tax sales coming up in September?

Let’s start with tax lien sales coming up in September…New Jersey tax sales are happening from now through the end of the year. And many of the NJ tax sales are online. The state of Indiana also has tax lien auctions this time of year, and a handful of IN counties have online tax lien auctions.  There are a few tax lien sales coming up in Wyoming. One WY county that has its sale online.

There are 29 tax lien sales in Kentucky in September, all of which are live. It is necessary to register with the state of KY if you are going to buy more than 5 liens in the state, more than 3 in any given county, or spend over $10,000 at the auctions. And now one KY county conducts their auction online. All of the others are live. The state of Louisiana has 3 counties with tax lien in September and they are online auctions.

Tax Deeds

There are tax deed sales coming up in New York some of which are online. The state of Michigan still has tax deed auctions coming up, and most of those are online. There is one live tax deed sale ending in September in Wisconsin. There is one county in Minnesota with a tax deed sale coming up. But MN is not the best deed state to invest in, because they do not start the bidding at back taxes.

Other states with tax deed auctions in September are Washington, Idaho, California, Arkansas, Massachusetts, Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, and North Carolina.  All of these states except for Arkansas and North Carolina have some counties with online tax sales. Both Kansas and Nevada have one online tax deed sale scheduled for September. And the state of South Dakota has one county with a live tax deed sale in September.

Redeemable Tax Deeds

Texas and Georgia have counties that have redeemable tax deed auctions every month. In both of these states the tax sales take place on the first Tuesday of the month. A couple of counties in GA and a handful of counties in TX conduct these auctions online. Tennessee has 2 counties with tax sales in September and one of those actions is online. The state of Delaware only has 3 counties and 1 of them has a tax sale in early September. The state of Connecticut has 6 redeemable deed sales in September and they are all live auctions. There are 2 online redeemable deed auctions in Philadelphia PA scheduled for September.

Investing In The Mississippi Tax Sales

Mississippi Get Profitable Tax Liens Laser CoachingTax Sales

Mississippi tax sales take place on the 4th Monday of August, which this year is August 27. A few years ago, one of my coaching clients got 14 tax liens in the Mississippi tax sales.

She was interested in getting vacant land and was able to purchase all 14 liens for under $2500! Most of the liens she won were for vacant land, but one of the liens was for a residential property. She went to this live tax sale before COVID, since then more Mississippi counties have online tax sales.

How Mississippi Tax Sales Work

Mississippi has a 2 year redemption period an 18% return interest rate. The interest accrues monthly at 1.5% per month. Premium is bid for liens and you do not get any interest on the premium amount, which effectively lowers your return. If you are interested in having me help you buy some profitable liens or deeds in Mississippi this year, here’s how to start…
